The praetor then, summoning the soldiers to an assembly, ordered them to march out of the city, and pitched a camp in the plain, issuing an edict which threatened severe punishment to any soldier who either had remained behind in the city, or had carried out with him what did not belong to him.

He gave permission to the Locrians to seize whatever each of them identified as his property, and demand restitution to be made of any thing which was concealed.

Above all, he was resolved that the free persons should be restored to the Locrians without delay.

That the man who did not restore them should be visited with no light punishment.
He then held an assembly of the Locrians, and told them, that "the people and senate of Rome restored to them their liberty and their laws.

That if any one was desirous of bringing charges against Pleminius, or any one else, he should follow them to Rhegium.
